That’s right, Speciation has a book club! We read Nature nonfiction books, and have a casual discussion for about an hour. We meet every 2 months to give you plenty of time to read the book, and generally we pick books around 300 pages long.

This month’s book is Empire of Ants: The Hidden World and Extraordinary Lives of Earth's Tiny Conquerors by Susanne Foitzik, Olaf Fritsche

Acclaimed biologist Susanne Foitzik has traveled the globe to study these master architects of Earth. Joined by journalist Olaf Fritsche, Foitzik invites readers deep into her world—in the field and in the lab. (How do you observe the behavior of ants just millimeters long—or dissect a brain the width of a needle?) Richly illustrated and photographed in full color, Empire of Ants will inspire new respect for ants as a global superpower—and raise new questions about the very meaning of “civilization.”

Stovepipe Stover is a 46-year-old one-man band channeling the industrial grit of Muskegon, Michigan. Armed with a guitar, banjo, and a live Farmer foot drum backpack kit, he blends country twang, punk rock fury, and eerie horror storytelling—forged on the pavement and recorded raw in the studio.
